Hello friends, the Traditional Games Kickstarter thread is currently dunking on this monstrosity: Gamevaults World of Warcraft Edition It is  $500 USD Only available in the US. Has game pieces that make it an unreadable mess from a table state perspective. Is apparently officially endorsed by Blizz with marketing info coming soon. May or may not be a money laundering scheme Features no physical prototype, just renders, so you know it's legit. Has an all black version for $650 USD which makes it EVEN HARDER to see which pieces are yours If you add all the poo poo to the board it becomes this unreadable nightmare https://i.imgur.com/gI8R2PA.mp4 "With the addition of iconic architectural elements some landing spaces are raised as high as 11 inches ultimately obscuring the line of sight of all game pieces. The rules. have. changed." Promotes loving with your line of sight AS A SELLING POINT ARGHHHHHHHHH

Infinitum posted:Hello friends, the Traditional Games Kickstarter thread is currently dunking on this monstrosity: Gamevaults World of Warcraft Edition The description for this game sounds like it was written by a crazy person. quote:There are 2 levels of game play. Level 43 is the initial setup phase and precursor to the impending battle. If the battle has not been lost during this level, the game moves on to its final conflict and the winner will live to see another day. I just love the line "There are 2 levels of game play. Level 43 is...". Like, what?? At first I thought this would be some over-complicated game. But this page does a much better job of describing how this game would play: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagh-Chal Note that the GameVaults page does not directly state it's based on the old Nepalese game Bagh-Chal, just that it's based on a centuries-old strategy game. As a final note, I like this line in the description of this ridiculous GameVaults WoW Edition: "Rather than mold a game piece to be cost effective and tooling efficient, our designers have done the opposite." We don't want to be cost-effective or efficient here, nothing but wasteful complexity!!!

' In addition to being visually stunning, these deep black tones raise the complexity of the game. When there is no differentiation between the pieces and the playing surface the gameplay difficulty is amplified significantly.' in what loving world is this a selling point

For that cost I was expecting something closer to warhammer 40k. Loomer posted:' In addition to being visually stunning, these deep black tones raise the complexity of the game.

Yeah, and if you actually care about it aren't you going to paint the minis so they look way better? In which case why on earth would you spend $150 extra just to have the base plastic be a different color which you couldn't even see after painting?!

Remember the Romphim Kickstarter? Yes these loving things. I looked them up to make fun of to a friend and turns out it's dead for over a year now, which isn't particularly surprising https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/juliareinstein/romphim-male-romper-closing-out-of-business

Turning the corner into the men's room, you see me standing at the urinal, Romphim around my ankles. "You having a good night?" I say, making eye contact. Only now do you realize I'm making GBS threads.

two fun things I noticed about lovely wow checkers: they do an illegal move at 2:35 in the official instructions video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVxkZEXTD3I also realized that the movement indicators are UNDER the pieces, so you have to lift them up to see where they can go. good lord

If you want an absolute word salad of a KS https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/videogamefbs/project-video-game He has all the maps, and all the guns, and all the costumes, and all the things. The max pledge tier is something else  quote:Pledge CHF 8,688 or more About AU$ 12,771 "Yes, please rename NYC to Richard Head"

quote:premium Assault weapons: annual rent from $100-$200.Now there are 5 Assault Guns premium weapons ,in my videoGame Store . So his unfinished kickstarter game already has a microtransactions store, and his business model is to sell ANNUAL gun subscriptions? (and it costs $100+ for a digital gun that only lasts one year lmao)  Not a bad baby's-first-videogame project following a tutorial, but his ideas of monetizing this have nothing to do with reality.

If that is his thought on game design then he is probably just taking a tutorial game and throwing in some extra purchased/downloaded assets. bing bong so easy Which was my guess from how nothing he showed off had any of the same style to it, but lol at him coming out and saying it.

This is 100% a person who's going into their chosen game engine's marketplace and just grabbing a bunch of (free) stuff that they think they can stick together and it'll just work like Voltron.

Their profile pic is a model photo they probably stole from aliexpress. People in the comments were contacting the studio that made the assets they were using and I guess they hit eject on their scam(?)
